I hope you do not mean to dismiss the problems that I outlined, they are real, and this package as in solves them. So we are talking about a scenario where "the perfect is the enemy in the good". The existing package has problems, but also solves real problems.
You outlined two real problems: * this package should only be installable on systems running an Android kernel * changing user/group UIDs/GIDs without changing the file system permissions can cause bad things to happen. Right now, the package is only installable on systems that do not have the linux-image meta-package installed and are very likely to in a chroot. So that eliminates the majority of Debian installs as candidates where this package is installable. Ideally there would be a way to actually detect the Android kernel, I have not found that way. About changing UIDs and GIDs, this package could just do a search and replace the UIDs and GIDs of affected files. Having debootstrap install this package earlier in the process sounds good to me, but I know little about that stuff, and the cdebootstrap developer does not seem to be keen on including stuff that is outside of the core mission of the debian installer. > First of all, please don't break threads. Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this. .hc
